So yeah, Google totally just won the conference showdown by easily beating both Apple and Microsoft. Not only did Google announce Android 4.1 with some really cool new features, a cheap but non-crippled tablet, and a new Android device called the Nexus Q, but they also opened up pre-orders for Google Glass. So yeah.

Google has completely lost control of the Android ecosystem and, while that may be by design, it's going to mean that fragmentation will continue to be a huge problem; regardless of what the naysayers claim.

Fragmentation is a moderate problem, not a huge one. A lot of the "naysayers" are quite big players. That includes Unity Tech, Pocket, Animoca and so on.
